Piano Lessons in Portage

I am a musician with over 20 years of experience, specializing in trombone performance, with a strong foundation in classical music as well as experience in jazz, big band, and Latin styles. I am currently pursuing higher education in music performance at Roosevelt University, which complements my practical experience with an academic and pedagogical approach.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to serve as principal trombone in ensembles such as the Orquesta Sinfónica de Chiapas and to perform in a wide range of musical settings in both Mexico and the United States. These experiences have allowed me to develop a broad understanding of different styles, technical demands, and performance practices.

As an educator, I have experience teaching both trombone and piano to students of various levels. My teaching approach is student-centered, adapting methods to each individual’s needs while integrating technique, musicality, and theoretical understanding. In trombone instruction, I focus on sound production, air control, intonation, flexibility, and audition preparation. In piano teaching, I emphasize technical fundamentals, music reading, coordination, and the development of musical expression from beginner to intermediate levels.

I consider myself a committed, patient, and structured teacher, capable of guiding students toward clear goals, whether for personal growth, academic development, or professional advancement in music. My goal is not only to develop technical skills, but also to build confidence, discipline, and strong musical judgment in each student
